Be careful buying an iPhone from a private seller. There are a lot of 'fake' iPhones out there. Google what to look for when buying outside of a major chain store.

I bought a 6s from Costco for my son after he had lost my old 5s.
I thought it was pretty reasonably priced.
I like the look of the SE. Kind of back to 5s shape and size.

My wife's nephew ran over his week old iPhone with a brush hog. Just some small pieces were left.

I have used an Otter Box for all my iPhones since I moved to a iPhone version 1. I have sold a few old phones, and I need to sell some more old phones, I just hate the Ebay experience of selling.

I have never destroyed a phone yet. Like my keys, in my lifetime I have never lost my keys, ever.

It is only a 6. I would just make sure it's unlocked or specifically for Shaun's carrier and also works with his SIM card.

$100 is not a huge exposure. Hope it's got a fresh battery in it.

Setting up phone now. Very disappointed that in this day and age I can't take the chip out of an established phone and put it into another and the new phone becomes the same as the old one, less any apps the new one doesn't have.

I guess a good idea to back up your phone on a regular basis since I'm restoring from a November 2018 back up. Can't wait to see what that does.

Because back in the day the SIMS had the capacity to store that data.

That's no longer the case.

SIMS would have to be SD cards.

No rivers around my parts of town. Hey, I have not had a moving violation of any sort in over 30 years either. I have had my El Camino 29 years and the 911 for 25. I have not been pulled over in either car, ever.

Get the perpetual ICloud backup going.

8 was meh when I looked at it. 11 is substantially better and the Pro is the perfect size, but I did just look up when the next Apple release date and it's late September so I may get a cheap 6 and wait and see what comes out.



The 11 does everything better. But does nothing new.

Make it a stun gun, a night vision scope, something.

I honestly thought it was Bob but will do so on this one.

Getting a 12 when they come out. I just hope they have a model that is perfectly sized like the 11 Pro.

The 11 Pro has double lenses for the cameras and can do some snazzy picture stuff if you are into that. Daughter sold me her XS Max to get the 11 Pro and I use it just like the 6 I had.

Have a 6 and will hold on to it until the COVID producing 5G goes mainstream. From what I have read, 5G is far from meh

911boost 08-19-2020 10:39 PM

I had that happen in an airplane seat, didn’t realize it had fallen in and pushed the landing button and heard it crunch.

Still have an 8S, hoping the 12 is small like the 8, not a phablet
